Happy hour devotees searching for “five o’clock somewhere” can find it everywhere and any time in Atlantic City. Any hour of the day or night, visitors can unwind in upscale casino bars with sweeping ocean views, stylish restaurants where celebrity chefs whip up scrumptious bar bites or casual local spots serving home style favorites. And because there’s no such thing as too much of a good thing, a number of spots offer happy hour specials several times a day, including the wee small hours for the super late-night crowd.

Here are a few spots around Atlantic City where special pricing on cocktails, beer, wine and food make happy hour a little happier:
